Starting a haul photos thread... Let's Go!
Sponsored
Someone decided to put the R1T to the ultimate pickup truck test and loaded a pallet of concrete mix into its bed. But the maximum payload capacity is 1,760 lb, while the bags filled with construction material weigh around 3,400 lb.
That's why the photos show the EV squatting like there's no tomorrow.
Lay it flat, strap it down, and put a flag on it. Yep, those are 12 ft. 2x4'sI have the roof racks but they seem rather useless for practical purposes. Has anyone figured out how to haul 12’ lumber with the R1T? What’s your hack for securing things to the racks?
Damn! You're braver than I am. Are those 16-footers?! That doesn't look like it would stay put on my hill (15% grade).Lumber, concrete debris, dirty diapers, gravel, crane equipment, waffles.... It does it all!

12's so only a 5' overhang ?Damn! You're braver than I am. Are those 16-footers?! That doesn't look like it would stay put on my hill (15% grade).
This is what I’ve been wanting to do. Can you provide details?I knew from the beginning I would need it. I haul 10ft material weekly for work. I just got creative and retro mod a rack on the back. I have Had it this way for 2 years now

I hauled 2 16’ 2x10s and just used ratchet straps up to the rear rail tie downs. I also went back inside and bought a 27 gallon tote to set on the end in the bed and strapped that down to the lower anchor points in the bed to hold that end down. I had another strap wrapped around that end under the tote to prevent lateral movement as well as one wrapped around on the tailgate. Everything worked just fine for my trip home. I also hauled it at 9:30pm so there weren’t many cars out and about.Seems like a genius idea. Kinda pricey but might pick one up. I’m looking to haul 16’ 2x6 and I doubt this would work for that though.
